The property also offers off-street parking at the front and a well-kept exterior visible from the aerial view. Entering the front door, you will find a shared foyer with two private units. The foyer includes a convenient mudroom/under-stair storage area and an interior staircase leading to the lower unit. The main level unit offers a bright and functional layout, featuring three well-sized bedrooms, spacious living and dining rooms filled with natural light, and a large kitchen and dining area designed for both functionality and convenience.
